    Default The Doors are on!

    One of the easy projects, I thought, turned out to be a 3 day 15-hour project to hang the doors. Lots of things have to be done before this can be done. Butt rib close outs needed to be installed, the stainless door opening trim needed to be installed and all the hardware had to be painted before mounting.
    They are on and I am glad to check another item off the list.

    Default She's alive!

    First start up!
    2 small oil fitting seeps that we tighten up and all was good.

    I sure wanted to take it out to the runway.....

    We even had the humidity halo working today!

    Nice Job Harlan! thanks for pointing out the halos. I'm confused. it seems with all the horse training and ranch work things would have been delayed. No sooner than you return to work, It's Airworthy?! Whats going on over there? Looking forward to first flight stories.
